Audiobooks are becoming a popular mode of consuming #books, especially with #children. Not only about reading books, but also as a tool to build #listening skills. Research also shows that there is a strong link between listening and #literacy

Vidya Kodimoole is having a new batch of her successful Battery Bug workshop happening at Cilre starting next Sunday. Its a #fabulous way for children to start the #journey into the world of #electronics. While exploring the fundamental concepts in electronics, children will also work on hands on projects.

Explore the world of electronics with Battery Bug. Create cool, fun and useful projects using the components which you see inside your TV, computer and other gadgets. During the journey you will learn about each component and how they work together. You will learn how to create your own fan robot or a musical instrument and much more. Let us start by glowing an LED!

Let's say you're trying to teach people about how engines work.

How are we gonna take it apart? Oh you need a screwdriver!'"
